This was discussed here before and you can read it if you type coconut tree and click on search.
If you still want to continue I am with you.
Here's one sample of a post

LOL you need a temp of 30 - 35 C daily , they need 12 - 18 hours of sunlight each day and they drink water thats on 20 degree's C.
they can't survive temp fluctations , 10 C fluctation = kill

o yes and the roots are deeeep and huge, its almost impossible to have it indoors when its a few years old, even in a 200 litre.

its only for zone 11 and higher, the grow will always stunt if you grow in colder zones, alot coconut nucifera will stunt at 20 C

i had one that was a few years old and i gave up --too big, i planted it in the garden becuase it was so badly rootbound while it was in a very big pot. so i had no choice to plant it in the garden , it died in the summer at 28 C we had no sunlight for 3 weeks here in the netherlands zone 7a - 8b

No need you dont sound one bit HARSH to me. but i get what your saying. but that sucks. i love these trees, nothing beats the tropical feeling of a cocos nucifera. and btw any other Palm that grow or maybe look exactly alike, but is still capital of growing and living onward?
